MS is just fine with providing free and open-source material at the individual level as long as they can monetize it at the corporate level. That's been the business model for many, many years, and is exactly the business model that GitHub follows as well.

..you do realize they give away lots of stuff to developers? There's a community-edition IDE that works quite well, with free documentation on MSDN.
Yes, MS is open source friendly; at least, compared to the old MS where open source was viewed as an STD.

Hey! Guys I need your help!
Last week my app was deleted from Play Store, the claim was that it violates spam policy with repetetive content. I tried to get in touch with console, but they said that the app is banned from store again with claim of repetitive content. They did not explain where in my app the policy was violated, leaving me wondering, what just happened and what was wrong with my app. Can you guys please could maybe explain what could be wrong with the app, so that maybe hypothetically I could understand the ban.
This actually left me wondered that basically Google can do anything without any explanation, just say that the policy have been violated and point- ban from the store.

You need to look at what your app is actually doing. It's unlikely that people here can guess why it is being rejected.

Oh sorry! It was bitcoin trading simulator for beginner investors, It was like school where people can learn to trade with real time trading simulator with no risk. It was basically an app that was based on our online platform-

Strange, when they have a problem with an app they usually explain quite well and provide links to their policy documents. Are you sure you didn't see those?
Repetitive content is a fancy word for spam.
Edit: An and if you have multiple apps on the store, make sure they are not the same content under a different app name. That is a violation.
Edit: I forgot, I heard about rare extreme cases they take down apps with excessive keyword spamming in the app description. You may review your app texts in the app store developer console.
throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.

They just reffered to their spam policy without any specific explanation, but the thing was that we were only one on the app store that provided something like this. Plus we send a second letter that we would like to hear detailed explanation, what was wrong but they just said that they already explained everything.

It's their platform. Why are you not wondering the same over your own applications? What God-given right do users have with their apps, or are they depending on your good mood?

Actually "sed" uses the same format.

I just found this in a comment to a question:
Quote: ...because the code you show is absurd.
I know abstract classes, but have not yet heard officially of absurd classes, but I have seen many of them. Will we now need a new class modifier?
public absurd class Foo
{
public absurd void DoSomethingAbsurd();
}What will be the impact in terms of inheritance? Must absurd methods be overridden? Or may they not be overriden at all?
Edit: Will there be such a thing as purely absurd classes, where every method and property is declared as absurd?
Will the absurdity level someone mentioned below be the inheritance depth of absurd base classes?

Surely the method should return something absurd as well? It'd be absurd if it didn't. We'll need a new data type too!

I've seen a lot of this modifier in my time. Heck, I've been known to write a lot of code using absurd. BTW - it's a compiler switch which is probably why you've never seen it. It defaults to true.

Only in VS 2008 and below: in the later versions it has an "Absurdity Level" which runs from 0 to 10. The default is 10 for new QA projects.

Good idea to add this keyword to C++ and mark the Boost Library classes with it.
|
|
|
|
|
I believe it's an attribute
[Absurd]
public class Foo
{
}
|
|
|
|

In C++, I suggest that we expand this as follows:
[[Absurd]]
[[Ludicrous]]
[[Plaid]]
Furthermore, in <type_traits>, we should add:
make_normal<t>::type
make_absurd<t>::type
make_ludicrous<t>::type
make_plaid<t>::type
is_normal<t>::value
is_absurd<t>::value
is_ludicrous<t>::value
is_plaid<t>::value
(Similar to make_signed<t>::type and is_signed<t>::value)
Is anyone volunteering to put it in proper proposal format? 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I guess we should extend this to the ZSpam and Absurd watch...

The problem is that when code with the absurd keyword is run, it throws an event that decrements my _faith_in_humanity counter.
